 WD MORGAN AWARD

(L to R)  Tony Jordan for Parrish Place, Danny Siau for Harper House, Ged Tiller for Winyah School.

Keep Georgetown Beautiful presented the WD Morgan Award at the Georgetown County Chamber of Commerce 87^th Annual Meeting & Banquet held on July 28 at Pawleys Plantation.  The Winyah School received the award, recognized were Parrish Place and Harper House. 

The WD Morgan Award was presented to Ged and Hank Tiller for the preservation of the Winyah School, recognized were Tony and Debbie Jordan for the renovation and development of Parrish Place and Danny Siau, Chairman of the Board of the Chamber of Commerce, for the preservation of the Harper House.

 The WD Morgan Award recognizes corporate citizens who conserve and preserve the environment and appearance of the City of Georgetown.  Named after the first mayor of Georgetown, William Doyle Morgan, for his efforts in improvement and development of Georgetown.  During his administration, some improvements in Georgetown included electric lights, a water works and sewage system, streets and sidewalks were paved, and over 2000 shade trees were planted.  During this period the city doubled in size and population.

The WD Morgan Award:

·         Recognizes development or renovation that contributes to the image of the City of Georgetown as a unique place of visual character, integrity and quality. 

·         It commends conservation of the environment and preservation of traditional appearance in commercial structures and sites.

Conservation of the Environment

Keep Georgetown Beautiful will present the WD Morgan Award to the business that best meets these ideals of conservation:

• Conserving Georgetown’s environment through the preservation or creation of green spaces and trees on the building site.  These natural settings will provide shade and wind-breaks for energy savings as well as providing outdoor meeting/eating/walking/quite spaces for both clients and employees.
• Paving the minimum required parking area and providing a reserve parking area on grass or porous-covered areas.  Improve stormwater drainage as well as the appearance of the business.
• Conserving energy through the advantages to be derived from passive solar or geo-thermal heating and cooling, use of natural ventilation, daylighting, and use of low-maintenance building exteriors.  Emphasis should be given to use of building materials with post-consumer recycled content.

Preservation of Traditional Appearance

Keep Georgetown Beautiful will recognize building that harmonizes with the historic character of the City of Georgetown, that harmonizes visually with its surroundings and with the terrain and vegetation of the site and with that of surrounding sites, and that avoids unsightly grading, indiscriminate earth moving or clearing, and removal of trees and vegetation which could cause disruption of natural water courses or disfigure natural land forms.

The WD Morgan Award winner will preserve historic building structures or deconstruct, rather than demolish, structures that can’t be preserved.  Deconstruction avoids use of heavy equipment, minimizes the impact on land and environment, re-uses materials from the old building in the new, can recover or recycle 70-80% of the materials.

Thank you to the Winyah School, Parrish Place and Harper House for your contribution to the conservation and preservation of the environment and appearance of the City of Georgetown.
